Afternoon gents, it’s Max from The Young Gentleman’s Guide here! So today's article is going to be another expansion on one of my 15 Rules to Teach your Sons (I imagine there will more than a few more of these in the future since I feel like I can get a lot more material out of that list). … Continue reading Be Assertive, don’t be the Bad Guy

Afternoon gents, it’s Max from the Young Gentleman’s Guide here! If you read my last article, you would know that one of the rules I put on that list is that there's no shame in loss or failure.

Afternoon gents, it’s Max from the Young Gentleman’s Guide here! So today's article is sort of going against the grain of what I normally post, but this is something that I've been wanting to talk about for a long time, and I feel like this is the best place to do it. Now before I continue, I … Continue reading One Sad Result of Capitalism

Afternoon gents, it’s Max from the Young Gentleman’s Guide here! So for today's article, I thought I would take a stab at talking about a subject that has become more and more prominent on the internet as of late: incels. For the uninitiated, incel is a portmanteau of the words involuntary celibate. It's an online subculture made … Continue reading Incels: A Dangerous Ideology

Afternoon gents, it’s Max from The Young Gentleman’s Guide here! First off, I want to sincerely apologize for being absent for so long.

In any case, a few … Continue reading 15 Rules for Gentlemen to Teach Their Sons

Afternoon gents, it’s Max from The Young Gentleman’s Guide here! It's honestly surprising that I haven't written an article about this sooner, but nonetheless, here we are.

Afternoon gents, it’s Max from the Young Gentleman’s Guide here! So today's article is going to be a little different than a lot of our other articles, but I feel like it's an important one to talk about.

Afternoon gents, it’s Max from the Young Gentleman’s Guide here! Today, I want to talk about a style of music that sadly is in danger of becoming a lost relic of the past, much like the art of being a gentleman, that being big band swing. Becoming popular in the 1930s and then practically becoming the soundtrack … Continue reading Swing: A True Gentleman’s Music

Afternoon gents, it’s Max from The Young Gentleman’s Guide here! So, it’s been a pretty crazy week for me with 4th of July celebrations and family visiting from out of town. This led me to fall behind a bit in my writing, but I didn’t want to go without an article today, so here we are! This is an interview that I had with A Vintage Athenian a few weeks ago all about being a gentleman in the modern age. It was incredibly fun and a great experience for both of us! In any case, please be sure to share the post, follow the blog, follow The Young Gentleman’s Guide on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and support us on Patreon. And on that note, this is Max from The Young Gentleman’s Guide, and I’ll see you next time!

Hello my darlings!

So if you’ve read my post about how to truly be vintage, you must have seen how a man was acting back then. The term “gentleman” is unfortunately pretty much lost nowadays, but I’m proud to say that I have met some true and amazing gentlemen in my life. The one of them was my amazing grandpa, who I didn’t have the chance to meet since he died when I was very little. The other, is my beloved father who’s always there for all of us. The third one is our dear friend Malachi who unfortunately left us some days ago. I’m sure he’s taking care of us from above though and despite his death, he still lives through our memories. I am very sure he inspired many men to become true gentlemen and many women to get in the vintage lifestyle (as he did with…

For starters, a lot of my ideas for this article … Continue reading Why I Consider Myself “Vintage”
